Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

Hsiao-ch'i (Caroline Lu) sings in an all-girl band and appears to spend most of her waking hours in the late-night world of Taipei. A boy called Hsiao-feng (Wang Ch'i-tsan) spends all of his time following her around and he calls her "sis" for no discernible reason. No one seems to question his being there, and this eventually proves to be quite a mystery. The girl's life is otherwise pretty unsatisfactory, what with her mother's intrusive Christian proselytizing, her comatose, bedridden uncle, and a boyfriend who won't leave his wife for her. Eventually, the girl realises that this "boy" is her comatose uncle's spirit, and things in her family go from simply being a bit threadbare to truly being unravelled.
